Thus by actual test the towns named
in the first series are found to be situated
over great trough or downbreak of
the Trenton.
Those Of the second series are shown
to be situated along the ridge or uplift
of the Trenton extending from Fiudlay

Those Of the third series are shown to
be situated on great terrace or undis-
turbed plain of the Trenton, having only
the gradual and natural descent east.

Cleveland it is 5000 feet below the sur
face.
Along this western trough marked by
the first series of towns no gas has been
or will be found. Oil has been and will
continue TO be found along the foot of
the steepest slopes, while gas in abund-
ance has been or may be obtained at the
crest of the slopes or along the broken
uplift indicated by the second series of
towns. Throughout the great terrace
extending eastward from this ridge
neither gas nor oil has been or will be
obtained in paying quantity, unless sec
ondary breaks or folds of the Trenton
are found.
Oak Harbor is situated on such a
break, extending probably from the

ED. JOURNAL Permit some reflect
ions upon the subject of natural gas.
In all matters of public utility an 0p-
peal to prejudice and selfinterest
is unjustifable. wish to invite attcn-
ton to the report of the State Geologist
on petroleum and Cas- being part
of his official report ordered published
by the last legislature.
On page 1917 he says, "From this
high-lying Trenton lin Indann) there is
northeasterly prolongation that enters
Ohio i'll Mercer county and passes
through Auglaize, Allen and Hancock
counties"
"The Fiudlay break has not been
proved to lie strictly continuous to the
northward, but il there is no single
monoclinal fold) there is, at least, a
succession of such breaks that extend in
a generally northern direction to the
Michigan line. Van Buren,, Portage,
Bowling Green, Monclova and Sylvania
are all on the edge OF steep descents to
tiC "SbbNulus
On page 1870: "The Findlay break
passes n little west of Van Buren,,
through North Baltimore and about two
miles west of Bowling Green. Mon
clova is also on this or an altogether
similar line" On page 1871: 1T is
along the edge of the Findlay break that
the greatest gas wells of the field have
been struck. The Karg well is located
as nearly as possible at the very summit
of the sharpest descent. The Van Buren,
well holds similar relation to the
break. The Simons well acquires its
value by n like relation" On page $780,:
1.-The wells drilled at Perrysburg and
South Toledo are hardly to be consid-
cred as located upon this line. The
main disturbance is evidently two or
three miles to the west of them"
Dismissing the geologist here let us
illustrate and prove for ourselves these
facts by vertical sections drawn east and
west, first through Findlay. The fig
ures give, in all cases, the depth of
Trenton below tide.

Some two months ago friend hand
cd us copy of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
calling our attention to largely dis
played heading over an article booming
birmingham, Alabama. Among the
headlines we struck boom" for an an.
preparation from the Government to as
sist in developing that section. It was
unnecessary to read further. If not In the
face it plainly showed in the "headp
that it was q paid advertisement to as.
bist capitalists in securing from the
peoples treasury in Washington the
means to double or quadruple the money
they had in vested. This is only one of
the many ways by which large capital
ists fleece the people by securing fav or.
able legislation that soon makes mil
lionaires Of them.
In looking over our exchanges on
Sunday we found an article In the
Cleveland Press, which we COPY in this
issue. Although little over a month
old 1t serves the purpose exactly to il
lustrate the deception practiced in
working up "boom." In the light of
q months experience no doubt many
are all the better prepared to appreciate
the facts Set forth in the comments of
the Ircss. While we recognize that the
good people of Bowling Green are enti-
tied TO all or more than she is likely TO
receive, under the circumstances, in
her advantages of the discovery of nat.
ural gas in close proximity, we can not
help believing the methods Of deception
adopted in sending out information to a
number Of the leading papers of the
State, the business mems religious reyi.
val and the latest dodge of playing the
Masonic dodge in communication TO a
paper in the central part of the State,
will prove disastrous and produce any.
thing but pleasant results in the end.
1t will certainly require a new defini.
tion of the word religion" and greatly
confuses and mystilies the methods OF
business tactics, especially when com
bined with religion nd the draw ON

City-County Building.

The waters OF county and municipal
seas mix peacefully. The stakes go into
the center Of the plaza and the injunc-
ton advised by the district attorney is
waited for. Judging from the letter Of
that advice one naturally inferred that
the attorney expected the county court
or some member of it to take out an in
junction and test the legality OF the To-
cation Of such building on the plaza.
AS it lie, judging from the report Of the
county commissioners conference with
the city committee, the plan appears to
be to let some other fellow take out the
Injunction and then have the city and
county fight IL. That which 1t Is no.
body's business to do may not be done
until it is too late to avoid unreasonable
and unnecessary costs. Better take the
official legal advice offered and make no
mistakes. Find out whether the build
ing can be legally located before putting
down the foundation.

The Parade In Mud and Rain.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-Rain continues
to drop steadily and with the increased
showers everything is drenched, and
the ardOr of the citizens and soldiers ia
dampened. Thousands OF veterans
after waiting "a hours In the rain
to realize the promises of the signal
service, Of fair weather, have start
ed for home, yet there are many
thousands left and Grand Marshal Grier
has issued order to prepare for the
parade. When the order to fall in
reached the camps and the various
headquarters, the men responded
promptly, and shortly after 10 O'Clock
the procession formed and started on its
line of march, although greatly d.
minished In numbers as compared with
what 1t would have been had the
weather been fair. The line was very
long ore and despite the pelting rain
and .slushing mud the streets were
thronged with enthusiastic people, who
greeted the veterans with cheers and
other demonstrations Of gladness and
approval.
